Where oh where has King Dover wandered off to?

 

I think somebody mentioned he was in Europe at the moment...

 

I'm thinking you snooze you loose,or is this game going to postpone until after Comic Con?

 

Loose what...?

 

The yoke of slavery...?

I don't know! It sounded good at the time.

All guesses are in. The Final Round begins in Comics General: Tomorrow night!

 

The contest will probably run for two weeks, but maybe longer if votes are still coming in. Let's try to keep the thread on the first page with lots of discussion and trash talk.

 

When the votes slow down, we'll end the contest and I'll have the mods move the thread over to Permanent Polls.

 

The winner will get to pick 2 prizes. Then we move down the list of players in finishing order. Each player picks one prize until there are no more prizes left in the prize closet.

 

Prize Closet:

 

Original Art Commissions:

1. Adams cover reproduction or re-imagining, fully inked and 11X17 in size. Your choice, any Adams cover (Mrlatko)

2. Digitally colored Tec 405 re-imagining print 12x18, plus 2 posters 24x36 of Superman 233 and Batman 251 (Ajl007)

3. Drawing based on the winning cover. Scaled down Halloweenized version of the winning image. (Shiverbones)

Final Round has started! Right here:

 

Ultimate Adams Covers Poll: FINALS!

 

460 covers entered the arena, but only one can exit alive. Who will it be? You must decide by voting!

There is some confusion about the contest and the final round:

 

The contest picks everyone made via PM were how you think this final round will play out after everyone has voted, including non-contest boardies. You are gambling that your contest picks match up with reality after a couple weeks of people voting in the Final Round.

 

Please make your picks in the final round as you have in previous rounds. Your contest picks you sent via PM DO NOT need to match your final round votes.

 

After a couple weeks, I'll call a halt to the contest, we'll tally up everyone's scores by comparing against the final round's votes, and pick prizes! (thumbs u

Get your votes in if you haven't. I think I'll call a halt to the contest when we go over 1000 votes, probably this weekend. We are at 850 now. Any objections, or does that sound like a good stopping point?

How do we vote again?

Thanks man. I'm glad you were along for the ride!

 

After we are done here, I think I am taking a long vacation from starting polls. Someone else can do the next one.
